Work on the dictionary continued throughout the 2000s, with a second edition of Cassell's Dictionary of Slang appearing as an interim work in 2005 and, after the acquisition of Cassell by Chambers, a third edition under the new title of the Chambers Slang Dictionary in 2008. Green turned down an offer from Routledge to revise Partridge's dictionary in order to embark on his own work of far greater magnitude, helped by the bequest of his deceased uncle which allowed Green to spend much more money on the necessary lexicographical research than his publisher was able to provide.

Cassell immediately commissioned a sequel with full historical quotations as in the OED. The first edition of the single-volume Cassell's Dictionary of Slang appeared in 1998. In 1993 Cassell commissioned Green to create a new dictionary, this time broadening the focus to include slang terms from approximately 1500 onwards, but without citations. The dictionary's direct ancestor is Eric Partridge's Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English (1937–84) which originally inspired Green to write his own dictionary of slang, published as The Dictionary of Contemporary Slang in 1984. Jonathon Green, the dictionary's author, considers the work to be in the lineage of English slang dictionaries going back to Francis Grose's 18th-century Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue and further to the 1566 glossary Caveat for Common Cursetours by Thomas Harman.
